Description
As we learned throughout this week, team leadership involves monitoring a team to help individuals achieve goals and to enhance performance. Please refer to the image below from Northouse (2022, pp. 464).
Jamal works for a technology firm in the KSA. He has been assigned as the team leader of a group of five engineers, from different countries, responsible for creating new phone technology. This organization favors the team leadership approach and has given Jamal the responsibility to monitor and act as needed, to ensure the team is effectively performing.
During the first week of work, Jamal evaluates the overall situation in relation to the team’s needs and he discovers that the team is not focusing on the goals, there is conflict between three of the engineers due to communication issues, and there is not enough sharing of information among several of the engineers due to professional competition and a fear of being left behind.
Thinking about the above situation, please answer the following:
Explain what the team leadership approach is and how it impacts the decision-making process.
Identify the current issues Jamal is encountering. Explain the best way to address these issues based on the team leadership approach.
- Determine how a country’s culture and the culture of each team member impacts the team leadership approach.
- If you were Jamal, what team model would you use to make the team more successful? Explain why you selected this team model.

Team Leadership Case Study
Approach to Team Leadership
Every organization must cooperate to attain its goals. To improve cooperation within an
organization, the group administration concept is used. A competent executive is required in
every aspect of company. Group management is a relatively recent leadership theory that has
emerged as a very impartial tool in the workplace. This instrument is fair to everybody in every
aspect. It doesn't give preference to group participants over leaders. The aim of an instrument is
fairness for everyone, and all employees, regardless of their role within the organization, are
viewed as important contributors to its growth. Likewise, when an organization requires a
response to a problem, the recommended strategy is crucial. Supervisors are in responsible of
mentoring participants of the group and guaranteeing that each one is performing to their full
potential. As a result, it is reasonable to conclude that adopting an effective leadership style is a
critical element in achieving an institution's long and short-term objectives (Burke et al., 2017).
A group manager is in control of the entire group in all aspects of the company's
operations. The manager doesn't need to be superior to everybody else or have an authoritarian
leadership style; all they need to do is guide the entire group. One must be capable to display
organizational qualities to be a director. Choices are crucial for any organization because they
drive the corporation's operations, and executives are among the cornerstones of this operation.
To make effective and long-term decisions, a management group approach is essential. By
merging the opinions of all participants, an appropriate decision will be reached. Even though all
participants contribute appropriately to the process of establishing a resolution to a problem, the
manager takes the final judgment (Burke et al., 2017).

As a group supervisor, Jamal has the power to control the group and any issues that arise
within the company as well as between its employees. Jamal will also have to cope with the
group's issues in this situation (Graen et al., 2014). The fundamental issue is that the crew has
lost perspective of the company's purposes, which is a major source of anxiety for the business.
Additional difficulty has arisen because several of the group participants are unfamiliar with
each other. The main argument these people have opposing perspectives and are at war with each
other is since they don't completely understand each other. Additionally, if performed poorly,
transmission of data between group employees may become a problem. Important information is
kept concealed from other teammates since group participants feel it wo...
